CANDIDATES GETTING BUSY
Delegate! for Republican County Cormn
tisn on Hand Larlj.
BADLY MIXED UP OVER CANDIDATES
Most Spirited Contest Over County
Attorney, with Both of Aspirants
Claim la Majority of the
Delegation.
The political thermometer was at least
100 In the shade yesterday and the centers
of activity were the county court house
and the Kiel hotel, where the country dele
gates make their headquarters. By even
ing it wus estimated that at least half of
the delegates to the republican county
convention from the country precincts were
In the city. As was to be expected, there
was all kinds of caucusing and fixing of
slates and the candidates for the several
nominations were busy patching up their
fences and building new ones where possi
ble. Indications late last evening were there
would be contests over each of the nomina
tions and an interesting time In the con
vention Is looked for. owing to the uncer
tainty of where the nominations will fall.
I'p to yesterday H. V. Battey of Avoca
was thought to have a clear field for the
nomination for clerk of the district court,
but as the country delegates arrived
rumors of a dark horse commenced to float
around. Nothing, however, could be
learned as to the Identity of the dark
horse candidate and some were Inclined to
think that the talk of an opposition candi
date was for the purpose of forcing Bat
tey's supporters to throw their s'rerurth In
favor of a certain candidate for one of
the other offices. Battey's friends, how
ever, were not much alarmed, as they be
lieved that any opposition developing at
such a late hour could not be effective
and that Battey would receive the nomina
tion on the first ballot.
Hottest Fie; tit for Attorney.
The principal contest will, It Is expected,
be over the. nomination for county attor
ney; at least there appears to be more In
terest In the outcome of this nomination
than In any of the others. C. F. Kim
ball's friends were yesterday still main
taining that they had over 100 of the 176
delegates, which would be more than suffi
cient to nominate Mr. Kimball on the first
ballot. On the other hand, J. J. Hess and
his supporters, while conceding that they
had no walkaway, were claiming a ma
jority of the delegates. t was noticeable
that some active work among the country
delegations was being done yesterday aft
ernoon and evening by Hess' followers.
. Some surprise was created by the strength
ehown by George Nash of Center town
ship, candidate for the nomination for re
corder. In the city It had been figured that
the nomination practically rested between
ft. O. Baird, at present deputy reoorder,
and B. B. Bayles of this city. yesterday's
developments, however. Indicated ' plainly
that Nash will have to be reckoned with
today In the convention. The delegates
from Center township, who. are solid for
Nash,, were claiming that they had suffi
cient strength In the county to nominate
their man without, the assistance of ths
city.
Auditor In Donbt.
The nomination for auditor, which Is con
sidered the pick of county offices, was up to
last night an uncertain quantity, although
W. C. Cheyne and W. M. Frederick were
both claiming they had It railed down.
These two candidates represent what might
be termed opposing factions In the re
publican party In Pottawattamie county,
and In this W. A. Groneweg, the third can
didate, figures lies his chance. He and
his friends figure that In the event of a
hard fight between Cheyne and Frederick,
the nomination might fall his way. There
was more or less talk yesterday of a dark
horse being sprung today for this nomina
tion, while It would not create any great
surprise If R. V. Innes, the present In
cumbent, was renominated. A largeium
ber of delegates from the eastern part of
the county made no secret of the fact that
they favored renominating Innes. While
Mr. Innes has In no sense of the word been
a candidate for renomlnatlon, It is under
stood that If a renomlnatlon were offered
him he would gladly accept Jt.
D. F. Dryden of Hardin township will
undoubtedly. It Is said, be renominated for
member of the Board of Supervisors, but
for the other nomination for supervisor
there will be a contest between Colonel
W. F. Baker, at present chairman of the
board, who is seeking a renomlnatlon,
and Former Alderman Charles W. Mc
Donald. The convention will assemble at -1 o'clock
In the south room of the county court
house. County Chairman George S. Wright
has selected Attorney II. J. Chambers of
this city for temporary chairman and James
11. Low ry, also of this city for temporary
secretary.
At the close of the county convention the
delegates from Kane township, which In
cludes the city of Council Bluffs, will meet
for the purpose of naming a township
ticket, including two Justices of the peace
and two constables.
' Judge George Carson, ths present repub
lican Justice of the peace. It la stated, will
not accept a renomlnatlon and the same la
said to be true of the constable of his
court, H. A. Baird. Ovlde Vim, a former
Justice and E. B. Gardiner, a former mem
ber of Ui police force, and president of
the Trades and Labor asaerobly are avowed
candidates for ths nomination for Justices.
These are said to he aspirants for the
nominations fur constables: Lee AlberU,
H. J. Palmer, J. C Baker, Bert Danders
and Captain D. Maltby.

COMMERCIAL CU B DWCCUEI TAXES
School Levy Is the Prlnrlpal One I'n
or Fire.
"Can anyone state definitely that the
taxes of Council Bluffs sre higher than In
other cities of corresponding slxe?" was the
question asked by Mayor Macrae at the
meeting of the board of directors of ths
Commercial club laat nlrtit. No one pres
ent was able to answer the question. This
question practically brought to a ctose a
lengthy discussion on the taxes of this crty,
which are claimed by some to he exresstve.
Invitations had been extended to the
members of the city counHl, Board of Kdu
cotlon and Board of Cour.ty Supervisors to
attend ths meeting snd talk over ths tax
question. Vfembers of ths city council and
psrk bfwrd snd sll of the Board of Educa
tion were preeont In response to the Invi
tation. Ths prevailing opinion apparently was
that the tax lery for the tr lnfennnce at
the publlo schools of Co unci I Fluff's was
excessive, snd the members of the school
hoard, ' especially President Hem and
Chairman Davenport of the finance com
mittee, were put through a rigid omas sr
amlnatlon and erofs-questinning as to the
why and the wherefore cf the need of "so
much money" f the schools.
Colonel I'avenpnrt said that had he un
derstood that the dlscusslun was to have
token the course It did he would have come
prepared with facts and figures that the
continual Increase In the number of school
children In the city necessitated an In
creased expenditure If the Bihools are to
be maintained at the standard they should
be. He explained that the lnrn-ase In the
levy this year was mainly due to the fact
that the people at the recent school elec
tion voted a levy of I26.0O) for building an
addition to the Avenue B school Instead
of voting bonds for the purpose.
For the Instruction of the meeting and
to assist In the discussion. Secretary Reed
of the club had prepared a tabulated Btete
ment showing the tax levies, with other
data for a number of years past. This
table showed that while the total tat levy
In Council Bluffs In. 1S97 was tA2 mills, It
had steadily Increased to 87.375 mills In 1903,
and that It had been eetimated that the
levy for 1304 would be 96 mills. Whereas
the assessed valuation in 1S97 wu $4,414,-
246, It had gradually decreased year by
year until In 1903 It was only f!,733,6W, and
was estimated to be $3,930,000 for 1904. de- j Onawa.. The total membership In Iowa In
spite the fact that the population had In- i good standing January 1 was 13.611, with
creased from 23.000 in 1S97 to 3u,0u0, which I 14.554 on the rolls. There were 2,038 cer
lt Is now estimated to be. I tiflcatea issued during the year. The Iowa
President Hess of the school board gave I grand lodge has fifteen hopelessly disabled
It as hie opinion, and In this he was Joined I members who are supported by the lodge,
by almost everyone present', that the trou- ; In the past year there were 116 deaths
hie with the taxes of Council Bluffs was among the members. During the year the
due to the low assessment and the fact j grand lodge recorder received 17,424 49. la
that a great deal of personal property es
caped assessment every year.
On behalf of the school board. Director
Gorman showed where other cities In the
state expended more annually for the sup
port of their schools than Council Bluffs
did. As one Instance, he cited Cedar Rap
Ids, with a population lees than Council
Bluffs, expended 1100,000 annually more for
schools than Council Bluffs did.
Convention a Love Feast.
The republican convention of the Ninth
Iowa corgresslonal district, comprising the
counties of Adair, Audubon, Casa, Guthrie,

PLAN DEVELOPS TO CROWD CUMMINS OUT
Indications Are that It Will Fall nnd

to the Chlrago
Convention.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
DE3 MOINES, May 11. Special.) Mem
bers of the grand lodge. Ancient Order of
United Workmen, of the Iowa Jurisdiction
are holding their annual meeting In Daven
port this week, and the grand officers have
gone l'rum headquarters here to attend the
meeting. The report of Grand Recorder
B. F. Rehkopf of this city shows that dur
lug ths past year thero was a net gain In
membership of and three new lodges
were established, at Carroll, Clarinda and
his annual report Grand Master Workman
W. M. Narvis again recommended that
the lodge go to the biennial sessions
planned. It is expected that substantially
the same general officers will be elected
for another term.
Tried to Endorse sham-.
It has leaked out that a plan was made
to start a boom for Secretary Shaw as
delegate-at-large from Iowa In place of
Governor Cummins and that It was to be
given a start at the Jasper county con
vention at Newton. So confident were those
who were In charge that this would be
done that they sent out dispatches saying
that Secretary Shaw had been endorsed for
delegate-at-large In place of Cummins and
convention refused to do so. It Is learned
that a serious effort may be made In the
state convention of "the republicans next
week to keep tho governor from going to
the national convention, but thus far It
looks like It would be unsuccessful. The
Jasper county convention sent a delegation
to the state convention under the control
of Senator Maytag, who Is a candidate for
delegate to Chicago, and It Is found that
the entire Sixth district has changed front
and has been lost to the stand-patters In
the party.
Oleomargarine Case Submitted.
The supreme court of Iowa has Just
taken under advisement the test case from
Polk county In which Judge McHenry up
held the Iowa statute which virtually pro
hibits the sale of oleomargarine In the state
as It Is now being placed on the market by
the big packers. The case was one In
which the Armour Packing company was
fined for Illegal Bale, of oleomargarine.
State Dairy Commissioner W'rlght pur
chased a package of the product In the
open market for the purpose of making ths
test in the oourts. On the trial It was held
that the Iowa law in effect prohibits the
sale of oleomargarine of a yellow color, re
gardless of the processes of manufacture
or whether . or not there is actual coloring
matter" introduced. The, defense, before the
Iowa supreme court, presented a strong
argument to show that the proper oon
struotlon ef the statute would be to effect
the prohibition of the act of coloring Oleo
margarine or sale of the product which
had been artificially colored. He contended
that the stuff condemned by the Jury was
of the natural color of eleomargarine and
that the yellow In It was due to the neces
sary Ingredients alone, and further that
the yellow color was r.t of the color of
yellow butter, as described In ths Iowa
statute.

watch hetng kept on the afflicted ones to
see that there is no spread of the disease.
The situation has been greatly exaggerated.
